Just when will the house get a speaker? It’s not good for the country. Unfortunately, not any moderates would survive, if there are any, the GOP caucus. If they did, they might have got Democratic support.

Looking at the national poll averages, it kind of interest how similar Trump and Carson have tracked since late August, both rising, with both peaking September 20th with Trump at 30.6% and Carson at 20%. Then both fell off, hitting lows around October first. Trump bottomed out at 22.8% and Carson at 16.3%. Since then, Carson has come back to 19.3%, near his previous high. Trump has more or less flatlined, now at 23.6%.

After peaking in the national poll average on July 12th, Jeb! started tanking, hitting a low of 7.7% on September 21st and has gone nowhere since, now at 8%. And he was supposed to be the better politician of the two brothers? Trump nailed it. The guy is a snooze.

Following her first prime-time debate, Fiorina shot up to 11.8% on September 23rd, but has been steadily ever since and is now at 7.8%. I take it you can only get so much milage out of lying about dead fetuses.

From September 18th to 23rd, Rubio went from 5.3% to 9.3%, but hasn’t moved the needle much since and is now at 10%. There’s talk of him being the new guy for billionaires like Adelson, but I’d say it’s just talk until he shows some more movement up the polls. Until then, he only leads the pack that’s being left in the dust.

I’d say the way to look at it is, how much support do the batshit insane candidates have, because when they fall out of the race, I struggle to see their support going to Bush or Rubio.

Trump, Carson, Cruz, Huckabee, Paul, and Santorum have 57.2% of the poll average. The batshit insane have taken over the party. That’s all there is to it. It will eventually come out that Carson believes the pope is the Antichrist. That’ll end whatever Catholic support he has.

IMHO, I predict it’ll come down to Trump and Cruz fighting for the batshit crazy vote, and if neither drops out, either Rubio or Bush will have a path to the nomination, and I’d put my money on Rubio over Bush. But if Carson drops out, Trump gets the nomination. Why? Because the majority of the GOP base is batshit fucking crazy.

When Rubio came out with his energy policy yesterday, it became clear that he’s just another run-of-the-mill Republican hack who panders to the ignoramuses populating the party’s grassroots, and lacks the courage to lead. His policy is nothing more than GOP retread: Drill, baby, drill; there is no climate problem. And the EPA is an evil commissariat that must be reined in.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Yes, I know this is an old story, although it stays in the news because this individual keeps committing crimes, most recently a DUI in California earlier this year — in which Stevens and his wife, Hope Solo, threatened the arresting cop with, “Do you know who we are?” Yes, love, the whole world knows what a pair of assholes you two pampered sports stars are.

One reason I decided to post this comment, based on a 7 1/2-year-old Seattle Times story I accidentally found while looking for something else, is because ST didn’t buy into this shit. They did straightforward reporting on it. The Seattle “paper of record’s” news staff is good for something, even if its editorial board isn’t.

The sad thing is that there isn’t a better paper for them to work for — and that we don’t have any choices on our ballots when electing a prosecuting attorney in this county.

The Democratic National Committee is ‘clearing a path’ for Hillary Clinton to be its presidential nominee because its upper power echelons are populated with women, according to a female committee member who was in Las Vegas for Tuesday’s primary debate. Speaking on the condition that she isn’t identified, she told Daily Mail Online that the party is in the tank for Clinton, and the women who run the organization decided it ‘early on.’

PuddyCommentary… Once again Steve proves how stooooooooooopid it is running to raw story. This was known last week yet did raw story excerpt it?

That triple pressure is on display again! Debbie Blabbermouth Schultzie and her cadre of DNC wimens feminists have taken over the DNC and are running it as a feminist organization! They are still pizzed a black man, Obummer came in and stole the election from Heilary. Y’all forgot Blabbermouth Schultzie’s response the Jorge Ramos regarding his question about the lack of DUMMOCRETIN candidate diversity on the stage last week! Shorter Blabbermouth Schultzie: “They got their black president now it’s wimens turn!”

They don’t want any men around whosoever. Look at the leadership of the DNC. How come Blabbermouth is still the leader with all the faux news and lies she’s delivered lately? This is why the common people are upset at CNN. They see CNN and the DNC in cahoots with CNN removing common peoples’ “Bernie Won” commentary over the debate. The DNC does not want this old white gun-loving wall street hating socialist man getting the DUMMOCRETIN nomination.

Clinton War Room Attacking Bill’s Bimbos Riding Bill’s coattails? Sacrificed for Bill Turned the other way for Bill Using Sidney Blumenthal when told not to Creating a secret email server when telling her underlings to use government email servers Wiping her email server with a cloth

She definitely didn’t answer the 3 AM call to the State Department when Ambassador Stevens asked for more protection and later died because of a mysterious video being played in North Africa. Oh wait… they never saw it!

He must mean how his brother, after falling asleep at the wheel and ignoring the PDB as he took a month’s vacation after only six months on the job, read ‘My Pet Goat’ as the towers fell and then, instead of pursuing Bin Laden, invaded the wrong country, thus wasting so much of our nation’s precious blood and treasure while allowing the perpetrator to run free. Smooth move, that was. Probably enough to make a batshit crazy loon’s head explode just to hear mention of it.

Once again revisionist history from CNN. The 9/11 hijackers were allowed to stay by William Jefferson Female Juiced Cigar Clinton. The PDB could not have stopped the attack since the hijackers were already in the US!

@27 I”ll see your attempt to revise history, call your bluff, and raise the ante by revising it back to the true historical facts:

“Bush’s approach in most situations seemed a reactive combination of calculations to avoid his father’s mistakes and to reject Clinton’s policies. This was especially clear in international affairs: in his first nine months he reversed Clinton’s policy toward China, proclaiming it no longer a ‘strategic partner’ but a ‘strategic competitor’; in the Middle East, by withdrawing U.S. involvement in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians; toward Korea, by abandoning the negotiated accord that had frozen the North’s nuclear program and by humiliating President Kim of South Korea, who was promoting North-South reconciliation, during his March 2001 visit to the White House, contributing to a wave of anti-Americanism in a country that was among the staunchest American allies; by withdrawing U.S. support from the Kyoto treaty on global warming; and by forsaking Clinton’s efforts to address the dangers of international terrorism.

“During the transition between administrations, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger arranged several extensive briefings on this last subject for Bush’s incoming national security adviser, Condoleeza Rice, and others on the Bush team, including Vice President Cheney. One briefing lasted half a day. Berger told them that Osama bin Laden was an ‘existential threat’ and told them that he wanted ‘to underscore how important this issue is.’ In another briefing, Richard Clarke, head of counterterrorism in the NSC, the single most knowledgeable expert in the government, gave them a complete tutorial on the subject. In yet another briefing, CIA officials were brought in to go over all the intelligence available on terrorism.

“Don Kerrick, a three-star general and outgoing deputy national security adviser, overlapped for four months with the new Bush people. He submitted a memo for the new National Security Council warning of the danger of terrorism. ‘We are going to be struck again,’ he wrote. But as Kerrick explained to me, he received no answer to his memo. ‘They didn’t respond,’ he said. ‘They never responded. It was not high on their priority list. I was never invited to one meeting. They never asked me to do anything. They were not focusing. They didn’t see terrorism as the big megaissue that the Clinton administration saw it as. They were concentrated on what they thought were higher priorities than terrorism.’ The Principals meeting of national security officials took up terrorism only once, after constant pressure from Clarke, on September 4, 2001, and at that meeting they discussed using unmanned Predator drone spy aircraft, but no decision was made. ‘Unfortunately,’ said Kerrick, ‘September 11 gave them something to focus on.’”

New Findings From War on Poverty: Just Give Cashhttp://www.bloombergview.com/a.....-give-cash “Children whose families got the money ended up having better job outcomes at age 25. Examining surveys of these families, Akee et al. hypothesize that much of the improvement comes from more harmonious family relations. Parents are happier because they have more money, leading to less fighting within the family. This lowers stress on kids, making them healthier, happier and better-behaved, and leading to a more productive adulthood. This, of course, flies in the face of conservative claims that welfare encourages bad behavior and destroys families.”

I heard an interesting meme this weekend, that social safety net programs are not entitlements, but really social investment programs, that society is investing in people because it will pay off in the future.

Even Democrats didn’t make as big an issue of this. Or make this a political issue….the only time it was really brought up by Democrats, is when Republican’s would speak about how Monkey Bush kept us all safe; which it was then a more worthy response.

The comment made @17 is like telling a poor person who can’t afford a better car than the one he or she is driving, that is leaking oil from the engine, spewing whitish black smoke form the tail pipe and every other day needs a jump start because of a failing battery, with the radio inaudible at it highest volume level because too much noise pollution is coming out of the non functioning muffler, that hey you still have a car.

Here’s what inaction Clinton and Gorelick did which is in the 9/11 report.

FACT- Clinton’s Justice Department minions created the “wall” prohibiting the FBI and the CIA from sharing information.

Fact – What libtard moron did that? Jamie Gorelick. Then the DUMMOCRETINS knowing they created that monstrous wall put Jamie Gorelick on the 9-11 Commission.

FACT – She was never asked about her wall. DUMMOCRETINS made sure of that by putting her on the committee. They wanted to make sure the Gorelick convict sat on the parole board to control the parole hearing on her stoooooooooopidity.

Don’t know if this has been posted in the other threads. Canadian Diplomat Ken Taylor, the Canadian Ambassador in Tehran who took in six Americans when the Embassy was seized passed away late last week at the age of 81.http://globalnews.ca/news/2279.....diplomacy/

One aspect of the Canadian electoral system, is the Winner Take All system causes vote splitting, and lately, it benefits the right, as there are three(four if you count the Bloc Quebecois) opposition parties to split the vote among those who oppose the Conservatives. Will be interesting to see if it has an impact.

@55. If puddy hates abortion so much, why doesn’t he advocate for birth control, sex ed and the empowerment of women. All have been proven to dramatically reduce the number of abortions. Yet he never explains why he doesn’t, in a meaningful way.

“I think that’s just [the Democrats’] MO: If you can’t attack the facts, you can attack the investigators … just attack, attack, attack and something will take hold,” he said. “[A]t some point, maybe something will stick, or maybe you get them off track or you get them to do or say something stupid, then you can seize on that.”

DUMMOCRETINS don’t care that Gowdy just received all of Clinton’s Libya emails just a few weeks ago.

DUMMOCRETINS don’t care that Gowdy just received all of Ambassador Stevens emails just a few days ago.

DUMMOCRETINS only care about the Clinton Coronation Circle Process (CCCP) led by Debbie Blabbermouth Schultzie and the DNC ladies! Why? Because you blacks got your president, now it’s time for a woman. Who cares about her flaws!

@59. So your response is “prove I don’t?” More squid ink. I would love to read where you broke with the republican mindset and railed against their desire to gut sex ed and birth control but I don’t think those posts exist.

Heh. Back to back head explosions @62 and 63. The thought of Hillary beating the shit out of Trey Gowdy and the wingnuts on his committee on Thursday must be too much for the batshit crazy loon. Gowdy is already shitting his pants at what is to come.
